  • Calibrate the lift’s controls and settings to match the specific requirements of the installation.

Training:

• • Provide training to users and caregivers on how to operate the lift safely.
  • Ensure that users are familiar with emergency procedures and how to respond in case of a malfunction.

Maintenance:
